Hallo! Ich bin gerade vor 3 Wochen nach Hamburg gezogen und wir haben eine Wohnung gemietet. Zuerst sah es sehr normal aus, aber ich erkenne, dass Schimmel auf den Fenstern gewachsen ist. Ich habe versucht, die Fenster zu öffnen (nicht jeden Tag, außer aus dem Badezimmer, um ehrlich zu sein, weil in meinem Land nicht üblich ist, diese Art von Problem zu haben). . Ich weiß nicht, ob es meine Schuld ist oder vielleicht die Wohnung bereits ein Problem mit Schimmel hatte? Es ist seltsam zu glauben, dass Schimmel so schnell erscheinen kann! Dieses Bild stammt aus der Küche und ich koche nicht einmal jeden Tag! Bitte Empfehlungen sind willkommen, danke!

The humidity is too high in the apartment/room. Either open the windows once in a while or get a dehumidifier
First point of action is to get a hygrometer, best for every room. Then try to keep the humidity below 60% using the various techniques I‘m sure will be described here. Then wait for the Spring to arrive 🙂
You need a secret German tech to prevent that.
„LÜFTEN“
Wipe the mold away, open the windows more often and use the kitchen chimney if you have one.
Before you go to your landlord with this, don’t they all check your tenancy agreement, mine says that I have to air the room twice a day for 10 minutes at a time.
I’m more worried about that mold. While you find a solution to the humidity you need to take care of the mould buildup soon before you start falling sick or some one else at your place.
How hot is in the apartment? Heat up the room so thay water will not condensate on the windows
I also come from a country where ventilation is automatic. It was mind boggling to me that in Germany you have to open the windows every day for Stoßlüften. But apparently this is what you have to do, otherwise you get mold. It’s not just a recommendation, it’s a necessity. The buildings are simply built that way.
Landlord here. You should and actually have to inform your landlord about this. Not just as a complaint from your side but as a heads-up that the silicone seal is defective. Replacing this is cheap, replacing the entire window, once the wood has started to rot, is expensive.
Right now, you are still in a position to prove that it’s not your fault, since this kind of damage doesn’t arise within three weeks. If you contact the landlord in two years, it’ll be harder to convince the landlord of that.
This will not cost you anything and the landlord has to act in a reasonable timeframe, which usually is around two weeks. Be nice about it and put the emphasis on wanting to avoid further damage to the window. That places your argument on the side of the landlord.
When you send a picture, send one without visible condensation.
Normal… yes, in some situations it is. Like the first time it gets freezing cold in the year. Then this may happen. Opening the window for some minutes should solve it. If this happens often and without a tempersturedrop outside: not good, not normal.
Ja, benutzen Sie frisch Luft und Heizung bitte.
Welcome to wonderful world of „lüften“ 🙂
High humidity + warm temperatures = water condences on cold surfaces (aluminum on windows or windows themselves)
You’ll get broke pretty fast if you’ll try to use „dehumidifiers“
Best approach you can use – „lüften“ – open your windows several times a day for 5-10mins to get rid of excess humidity
Or to look for apartment in neubau, they typically are better in this regard (especially with passive ventillation)
In Austria the same problem. I even bought a dryer with a heat pump. After every shower I air the bathroom well. Humidity in the bedroom at 55 percent and in the morning after a night all the windows are steamed up anyway.
